Our family's Ford Explorer required a water pump replacement. I visited several local auto shops to obtain quotes and was shocked, disappointed, and discouraged at the prices I was being quoted for the work my vehicle required ($5,000-$7,500) Shame on me for not reading Yelp reviews before wasting my time visiting other auto shops. I read the many positive reviews for Hye-Tech Auto Repair and decided to visit them. Upon entering, I was greeted by John (owner) with a friendly, "Welcome, how may I help you?" I explained that my Ford Explorer needed a new water pump and a few other items that other auto shops had advised me would require repair or replacement. While John looked up a few items on the computer to provide me with a quote, he introduced me to his son, Harry, who happened to be in the office. Thirty seconds later, John provided a quote that was $3,500-$4,000 less than the other shops. I could not believe it. John explained that he makes his living and succeeds in his business through repeat customers, and he does not believe in gouging customers for every last penny. He also shared that when he retires, his son Harry will take over the business, and he wants to leave Harry with a solid foundation of loyal repeat customers. It was then that I knew I could trust John and his son Harry. John went on to explain that replacing the water pump on a Ford Explorer was a 10-12 hour job, as it was an internal pump requiring numerous engine parts to be removed to reach it. This was the same thing all the other shops advised me. John suggested that I leave my vehicle, and he would perform a full inspection of the engine and contact me before doing anything to it. I agreed and left my vehicle. The following day, I was contacted by John, who advised me that the water pump did indeed need to be replaced, as it was the source of the constant leaks of the water coolant. I left my vehicle in John's shop for three days. During this time, John or his son, Harry, contacted me numerous times to keep me updated on the progress of my vehicle and also to point out that mechanics had discovered two or three very inexpensive items (under $50.00) which they recommended replacing, which I agreed to have done. All in all, I was and am extremely impressed and satisfied with everything about this shop. I spent much less money to have five different issues repaired on my vehicle at Hye-Tech than what I was quoted to replace my water pump alone by every single shop I visited prior to coming to Hye-Tech. John and Harry are very friendly, honest, and trustworthy. They are also very knowledgeable and experienced, and they offer GREAT customer service and communication. This is my new go-to shop for any issues involving our family vehicles. Thank you, Hye-Tech Auto Repair, for a very positive experience. read more

I opened a Yelp project to try to get my transmission serviced. The dealership wanted to charge me $1300 for this service. Yelp projects are one of the best things I've ever experienced. It's nice to see you can get quotes at the touch of a button on your phone. This morning, I had time off, so I headed in to get my service done. I did not have an appointment and that did not seem to matter. I arrived first thing in the morning at 8 AM and ask if the service could be done. Harry was an exceptional young man, he took me in with no problems, no questions. He said they could do it this morning. I told him I would have to wait. He had no problem with that either. Prior to bring in the car in this morning, as I said, I used a yelp project and had several people reach out and give me quotes. After looking at all the yelp reviews I decided to give this place a try. I am super happy that I did. This place is a hidden gem, excellence, service, quality, and value for what you receive. There are not very many shops where you could feel comfortable and put your trust in them. As I spent time in the lobby, I was able to see customer service on the phone and customer service entering the facility. Every customer that walked in, seem satisfied and was treated with dignity and respect. I highly recommend this place if you have any automotive questions whatsoever. read more

I walked into the business at around 11:30 and the owner told me he was swamped, but he did tell me to leave the car, and he would either finish it today or tomorrow. He had the car finished by 5:45. I got a break fluid replacement, Rear differential service/Drive axel and throttle body service. The price was very reasonable, and I was really happy with the service. It was a bit of a drive for me to get there, but well worth it. read more

They went above and beyond fixing and examining my car. Not only that, but it was also extremely affordable! Now I know why there was a line when I arrived in the morning before they opened.

Having a trustworthy mechanic is so hard to find nowadays, especially an affordable one. read more

Solid service and efficient honest work. I've had my starter replaced and multiple oil change jobs. My go-to-shop in the area.

I was recommended to this shop by my cousin who's been bringing her car for 10 yrs. They did not disappoint, every person I spoke to was kind & professional. I needed a tire rotation, oil change, cabin filters and transmission fluid changed. I had been given high estimates and when my total came, it was much better for me. They were quick and work was amazing. Definitely be back read more

Overall, I was very happy with my service. Also, very nice waiting room! read more

The best ever always friendly and have quick responds to your auto problems very thankful

My VW Atlas has had coolant leaking problems for years. The dealer kept brushing it off saying it was due to evaporation. It finally overheated and Hye-Tech took the time to diagnose and finally found the problem. It took them over a week due to the winter holidays, but I have my car back with a whole new heating and cooling system replaced, and all for half the price of what I would have paid to the dealer. Hye-Tech does quality work, and they even pick me up to get my car back. Thank you Harry and John. read more

I've been once before and was satisfied. The young guy was easy to deal with. I returned to have my oil changed ,oil & filter and front headlight bulbs replaced. After I payed the old guy with glasses he begin to argue with me that the lights don't need to be aligned when I asked if he made sure they are level and not pointing every where? Telling me I'm getting upset for asking. I watched the youtube video but my hand is too big to fit to do myself. Don't believe videos he said. It's not a conspiracy ? I said for $150 they are not aligned. He said that was only $100, oil charge was $40 ? I brought oil, filter and bulbs ? He said he has bills to pay asking what I do for a living . I thought I found a good shop. Like I told him, it's ok, I'll just go elsewhere next time due to his confrontational attitude. read more

Great Customer Service. I don't know much about value because I'm just a girl with no car knowledge but based off my google searches the price seemed fair. They were patient with me and tried to answer all my questions throughly. My truck gave them a hard time getting the diagnosis twice but they figured out the problem & stayed in contact. Would recommend them! I'm actually thankful for finding them on yelp! Thank you read more

I took my car here to get my fuel injectors replaced and they quoted me almost half of what Honda was trying to charge me for the same work.

Always looking for a trustworthy mechanic for my Subaru ever since my extended factory warranty expired. Glad to be able to find Hye Tech. I start quoting through Yelp with prompt reply. And I brought it for inspection. They could be pretty busy in the morning. It's always good to bring it in to have an early start. The repair and quote was given to me within an hour and I decided to go ahead for the fix. And it is done in a timely manner. From what I saw online, their pricing is definitely competitive. The best thing is when I pick up my car, they did their best to explain what happened to me in detail, even drawing out parts to show me what went wrong. For someone that doesn't much about car mechanic, that's a great help! Definitely worth all the stars that they got on Yelp! Will recommend friends as well. read more

Fast, kind, affordable. No haggling. Honest. No attempts to mark up. Good integrity

** 2/1/24 reply to owner Although you did not see me physically there i dropped him off and was present on the phone in your conversation the entire time. I do not need to waste my time writing an entire essay explaining what happened on here to warn others for nothing. You took our money so it's still a lose lose for us. my review was completely honest and was not meant for you to reply but for others to see what our experience was. have a great day. ______________________ Bf brought his 2011 Lexus IS 250 at 7:50 am on 1/26/24 to check why a traction light was on and his car was not revving properly. Was told by an older man that the diagnostic would be FREE and that the car would be looked at and we would be given a call over the weekend. We left feeling as if we were in good hands considering all the positive reviews. Monday 1/29/24 comes and we did not receive a call on how much longer this process would take so I advised him we go and see what's going on. So we get there around 3:30ish and are treated quite poorly unfortunately, a younger man working was abrasive due to "short handed staff" and pressed us about paying for $160 diagnostic fee! i stated the car model earlier because that model has a microchip and if you needed to know what was off with the car you just plug in this device under the steering wheel and in less than 1 minute you are given a print out that tells you what is wrong with the car. $160 dollars for less than a minute of work is insane let me state again that we were told this would be free when we first got here, they neglected to tell us that the diagnostic fee is free IFFF you give them your business. He was quoted $2400 to fix his car. We asked for copies of all the paperwork they did and we find out they ran the check and figured out the problem the same day at 1:00 pm AND FAILED TO CALL US. So we left the car there all weekend and missed work monday for n o t h i n g. we realized all too late that AutoZone down Azusa has this same device for the diagnostic check and does this process FOR FREEE we figured out it was the spark plugs and he was able to fix the issue himself for less than $200 This is my personal experience, you take from it what you will but beware of this place with all the 5 stars compared to our first experience here seems unreal. tech who printed out the diagnostic had the name JOHN unsure if that's who helped but that's what is printed on the paper. read more

I haven't even take my car in, but I reached out to them because I was having some car issues. They were so honest, suggested I take my car to the dealership first in case it's under a warranty. They don't have to do that AT ALL! I recommend them because they care about their customers and aren't trying to swindle you just to get some cash. They are an AMAZING HONEST BUSINESS!!! read more

Immediate response. Helpful conversations and advice and good options to consider. ...............

This may be the best shop - if not the last shop - that sincerely wants to provide the best customer service and experience. I had a unique situation with my SUV and transmission / valve body. I spoke with Harry and he directed me to someone that would be more specialized with my unique situation. I could tell right away that this is the shop I want to take all my future automotive repair needs to. Harry was straightforward, helpful and friendly. Most importantly, I could tell immediately that he was honest and wanted to help me with my automotive situation. This was my first time in Hye-Tech, and even though I live in Long Beach, I will absolutely be taking my cars to Hye-Tech for any future work. To me, it's worth a drive to get honest and reliable work on my vehicles. The phenomenal reviews are what led me here, and I now I can confirm that they absolutely deserve five stars. read more

Called to get a price quote for a pre-purchase inspection, but spent a little more time talking with the owner about things to look for, process and price estimates for repairs (which were very reasonable), how he maintains his own cars... He was extremely patient and informative, to such a degree that I felt guilty for taking so much of his time on the phone. Wonderful level of customer service, and I haven't even taken the car to him yet! I certainly plan to after this exchange. Thank you very much. read more
